A Coastal Dream Come True: My Puffin Ceramic Featured in Coast

Some moments stop you in your tracks—and this was one of them. Featured in Coast magazine (December 2024 issue) was my puffin ceramic and I’m still quietly buzzing about it.

A Puffin Inspired by the British Coast

The puffin has always felt like such a joyful symbol of the UK coastline—characterful, resilient and unmistakably iconic. With this piece, it captures that gentle charm without overworking it. Simple forms, soft detailing and a calm presence that feels at home on a shelf, windowsill, or tucked among other treasured objects.

Like all my pieces at ArtyPax, this puffin began as a quiet idea, created by hand, with nature firmly at its heart. Seeing it celebrated in a magazine that shares that same love of the coast felt like a perfect meeting point.

Why Being Featured in Coast Is Such an Honour

Coast is one of the UK’s most well-loved lifestyle magazines, known for its beautiful photography, thoughtful writing and deep connection to coastal living. It’s a publication that reaches readers who truly value craftsmanship, storytelling, and the natural world—people who notice the details and care about where things come from.

To have my pottery included in their December issue, a time when homes feel especially reflective and meaningful, was incredibly affirming. It felt like a nod not just to one piece, but to the slower, more intentional way ArtyPax is built.

Gratitude, Always

I’m so grateful to the team at Coast for featuring my puffin ceramic and to everyone who continues to support my work—whether by collecting a piece, sharing my journey, or simply cheering me on from afar.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do: to be creatively inspired by nature in a way that carries a sense of place, calm and quiet joy. And knowing this little puffin found its way into the pages of Coast? That’s something I’ll treasure for a long time.
